The Little Things
The fireplace welcomes you with it’s warmth, asking for a snuggle around it, away from the harsh cold and snow. I watch as everyone troops in, hugs and kisses of fondness reverberated in the atmosphere.
We all missed each other, Christmas certainly reminds us of this.
My excited grandchildren pounce on me, they’ve missed their Nana and so have I. I wish I could touch them and tickle their frail bellies, I force a loop sided smile but they always understand. Ever since my stroke. I always look forward to these beautiful moments, I find fulfilment in these little things.
